About Me

me

Hi, I'm Suzanne. Proofreader by day, book blogger by night, devourer of books 24/7. My reading tastes: Basically you name it, I probably like it. I read a lot of contemporary and historical, both adult and YA, and I've also been enjoying more and more fantasy lately. Hobbies include: buying and hoarding of books, rambling about books to anyone who will listen, and trying to recommend books to my family and friends whether they are readers or not - because seriously, how can you not love to read books?

🧹Review - THE LATE-NIGHT WITCHES 🧹

Author - Auralee Wallace

Pub Date - 8/19/25

I went into this one blind, going purely off of those cozy cover vibes, and ended up really enjoying it.  It’s one of those stories that has a little something for everyone - it has family drama, witches, vampires, curses, and even the tiniest hint of romance!  It’s kind of hard to describe, but think Practical Magic meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer and you’re in the ballpark.

The family drama drew me in right away because as the eldest sister, I immediately related to Cassie, trying to hold everything together.  She’s raising three kids on her own, has a sister who is a wild child, and is barely surviving as it is, but then it’s dumped in her lap that she is also the “chosen witch” and it’s up to her to defeat a centuries old vampire on Halloween night or the world as they know it will end.  Cassie knows she comes from a long line of witches but her magic has always been dormant, so she has no idea how she can possibly pull this off. I loved Cassie’s journey as she tries to figure out how to unlock her powers, and the role her family plays in her journey, particularly her Aunt Dorcas, a gem of a character.

This was such a fun read. The writing is atmospheric and has just enough suspense with the curse and the threat of the vampires. It does have a tiny bit of gore, but even as someone squeamish, it didn’t bother me.  I loved how the story was so focused on this family of quirky witches and their bond of sisterhood.  Overall, The Late-Night Witches is a warm and humorous story about family, love, and self-discovery.

Robyn Maryke narrates the audiobook and does such a great job voicing this quirky cast of characters and capturing all of the elements of humor, suspense, and emotion that the story has to offer. It’s a charming performance!

✨ WHAT THIS WEEK ✨ Hey book friends! I swear ✨ WHAT THIS WEEK ✨

Hey book friends! I swear it feels like Monday rolls around faster and faster every week. This is our last week of summer as my son will start his first college classes next Monday. I’m excited for him but can’t believe we’re already at this point. Time is just flying!

📚What I’m Reading: I’m finishing up Gabriela and His Grace and Love’s a Witch this week, and then starting The Break-In by Katherine Faulkner.

🎧What I’m Listening to: Some of my reads above are immersive reads, and then I’m also listening to the audiobook of Pucking Around. 

🗓️What I’m looking forward to: I recently purchased a scanner and signed up for a libib account, so I’ve slowly been doing an inventory of all of the books I own. It has been a big project so I’m looking forward to finishing that up so that I only have to scan in new books as I purchase or receive them.  It has been fun feeling like I’m channeling my inner librarian though and I’m curious to see how many books I actually do own.

⛵️IF ALL ELSE SAILS by Emma St. Clair ⛵️

Pub Date - 8/5/25

Length: 11.3 hrs / Speed: 1.8x

I was immediately giddy when I realized this book is set in Kilmarnock, VA, about 30 minutes from my hometown. St. Clair describes the vibes of that area perfectly and it felt like being home. The story itself is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, closed door romance between Josie, a school nurse, and Wyatt, a hockey player on medical leave. The chemistry between Josie and Wyatt is fantastic, and I loved the added emotional depth that Wyatt is also there not just to recover from his injury but to sail the Intracoastal Waterway & spread his uncle’s ashes. It becomes an eye opening trip for them both and I just ate it up!  Andi Arndt & Patrick Zeller narrate and deliver a chsrming grumpy-sunshine performance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

✈️ WINGING IT WITH YOU by Chip Pons ✈️

Pub Date - 6/10/25

Length: 11 hrs, 18 mins/ Speed: 1.75x

This is a spicy romcom about two men who decide to pose as a couple to compete in an adventure-style reality contest right after they meet in an airport & the real feelings they catch along the way.  This book was so cute! Theo gives off major golden retriever energy, while Asher is a man on a mission after being dumped at the airport. The contest itself was hilarious and also provided lots of lovely moments for Theo and Asher to be vulnerable with each other.  Narrators Lee Osorio and Michael Crouch were fantastic in capturing both the humor & the more emotional moments. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎤 FOR THE RECORD by Emma Lord 🎤

Pub Date - 8/12/25

Length: 9 hrs, 55 mns / Speed: 1.8x

I love second chances and that this story was all about them for Mac & Sam in terms of their musical careers and their unresolved feelings for one another from when they were teens. I liked watching them reconnect & navigate new challenges but felt something was missing. I did enjoy the narration of Jesse Vilinsky & Andrew Elden though, which perfectly captured the tension and emotion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

❤️ Review - RED CARD ❤️

Author - Maren Moore

Pub Date - 8/12/25

Red Card is a rugby romance that follows Cillian Cairney, a British bad boy whose behavior has gotten him kicked off of his rugby team in London. The only team willing to take him now is a team at an Ivy League school in New Hampshire, but they don’t even try to hide the fact that they don’t like or trust him. Cillian has to prove himself, but has no idea that his fate might actually lie in the hands of the coach’s sassy, rugby-obsessed daughter, Rory. 

I absolutely devoured this book! I have a serious soft spot for bad boys who are trying to do better, so Cillian just had my whole heart from the moment I first met him on the page and learned about all he had been through and how he was trying to change. 

I also adored Rory right away and found her to be such a relatable character. Even though she’s in college, she’s always with her dad acting as an unofficial assistant coach and hanging out with the team. She’s just “one of the guys” and so her flirting skills are lacking. When she sees how much Cillian is struggling to fit in with the team, she offers to help pave the way for him if he’ll give her flirting lessons and help get her out of the friend zone. I loved the chemistry between Rory and Cillian, especially once those lessons started and they started to actually catch feelings for one another. 

The romance was fun, flirty, and spicy, and with Rory being the coach’s daughter, forbidden as well, and I loved every page of it.  What I also loved though was that the story also had a lot of emotional depth. Cillian is not only trying to secure this new position in the U.S., but he’s also processing grief and trying to care for his sister. He shows so much vulnerability it was impossible not to root for him. 

I read this one with my ears and eyes and highly recommend both formats. The audiobook is outstanding! Matt Sykes and Stella Hunter narrate, & I loved the contrast of the accents & how well their voices worked together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

🛸 Review - LOVE AT FIRST SIGHTING 🛸

Author - Mallory Marlowe

Pub Date - 8/12/25

This was one of my most anticipated summer romcoms and it far exceeded my expectations!

El is a social media influencer with a huge following who livestreams herself having an encounter with a UFO. While El’s followers are annoyed because she’s posting “offbrand” content, she catches the attention of Agent Carter Brody, who is a Man in Black and who had an encounter with a similar UFO when he was a child right before his dad, also a Man in Black, was killed. Carter hasn’t been able to look into his dad’s death, but now that he has been assigned to El’s case, this is his chance. After an awkward initial encounter, once El hears Carter’s story, she decides to work with him to get some answers.

Oh, how I loved these two characters! They’re both just so quirky and adorable on the surface, with the most hilarious banter between them, but they also both just have so much going on beneath the surface.  Carter’s backstory just broke my heart, and I really wanted him to get the answers he was looking for since this has obviously haunted him for most of his life. I also loved that he saw El as so much more than just the aesthetic of her social media page. He helped El to better see herself and to want more for herself than just followers, algorithms, and social media clout.  They were just such an amazing team in every way. 

I just loved everything about this book.  I was fully invested in the romance, the personal journeys of the characters, and in the UFO mystery, and ended up binging the book in a couple of sittings.

The audiobook is narrated by Elizabeth Lamont and Iggy Toma, and I had such a blast listening to this one.  Not only do they do a wonderful job bringing these characters to life and making Marlowe’s banter pop, but I love how well done the live stream scene and some of the other action scenes in the book are presented.  It was highly entertaining! 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎶 Review - IF NOT FOR MY BABY 🎶

Author - Kate Golden

Pub Date - 8/5/25

Even though Clementine dreams of a career in music, she has remained working as a waitress in her small town and taking care of her single mom who suffers from Fibromyalgia. All of that changes when her best friend calls her with a huge opportunity - spending eight weeks as a backing vocalist for Irish rockstar Halloran on his U.S. tour. Clementine is torn because she doesn’t want to leave her mom, but the money is life-changing, plus she would get to sing. What also ends up being life-changing is the connection she forms with Tom Halloran himself. 

I enjoyed the chemistry between Clementine and Tom. There’s a spark between them from the moment they first meet, and Clementine finds herself drawn to Tom because he’s so unexpected. He’s not at all the stereotypical rocker - he’s more introverted, preferring to hang out on the bus reading instead of partying. Clementine still keeps him at arm’s length though. She has seen her mom’s heart broken by men one too many times and is weary of suffering the same fate. 

I loved the tension between these two though and especially how it played out on stage when they sang together.  I also really liked the inclusion of song lyrics since the lyrics fit so well with each of their situations. 

I really liked the story from Clementine’s perspective, liked the writing style, and found it very bingeable but I think I would have loved it even more with Tom’s POV included. 

As I love to do, I read this book with my eyes and ears.  Ellie Gossage narrates most of the book, while Eric Nolan voices Tom Halloran. Both narrators did a great job bringing the cast of characters to life and making me feel like I really was on tour with a rock band. 1.7x was my preferred listening speed for the best immersive reading experience.

🩵Review - FOREVER NEVER 🩵

Author - Lucy Score

Pub Date - 3/4/21

Forever Never is a small town, grumpy-sunshine romance set on Mackinac Island.  There’s a hint of forbidden romance in that Remi should probably be off limits to Brick for so many reasons even though he’s attracted to her - she’s his brother’s former high school sweetheart, his boss’s daughter, and his ex-wife’s best friend.  Remi has had a crush on Brick forever though so she’s not going to make it easy for him. 

I really enjoyed this book! Brick and Remi had great chemistry and I was quickly invested in their very complicated relationship, both past and present. I also liked that this book had a bit of suspense to it.  Remi has returned to the island after years of living elsewhere and when she returns home, trouble follows her.  Brick works in law enforcement and is super protective. He senses that something is off even though Remi won’t tell anyone what is going on. I ate that storyline up!  There’s also plenty of fun, flirty banter and steamy scenes once Brick and Remi give in to their mutual attraction. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

💜 Review - PLAYBOOK 💜

Author - Rebecca Jenshak

Pub Date - 7/25/24

Playbook is the second book in the Holland Brothers series. This one works as a standalone and it’s a fake dating, grumpy-sunshine football romance. 

I loved the main characters, London and Brogan, and thought they had amazing chemistry. I thought the author having them meet because London is assigned Brogan’s former P.O. box and starts his receiving his fanmail (mostly panties) because Brogan forgot to forward his mail was so creative.

I loved the dynamic of their relationship as they become friends first and then came up with the fake dating arrangement.  It was clear how much they grew to care about one another, & they also had amazing banter, so it was just so easy to root for them as a couple.  This book also had a great found family dynamic with the Holland family treating Brogan like he is one of their own.

I enjoyed this book & look forward to continuing the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

✨Review - ONCE UPON A TIME IN DOLLYWOOD ✨

Author - Ashley Jordan

Pub Date - 8/5/25

Once Upon a Time in Dollywood is Ashley Jordan’s debut novel and it is a beautifully written romance that also explores infertility, mental health, grief, and some other heavy topics.  As the author states in a note at the beginning of the book, this is not a light-hearted romance.  It’s filled with raw emotion and flawed characters who will have you rooting for them to find their way to each other and to a happily ever after.

Eve is a playwright living in NYC. Her professional life is thriving, but her personal relationships are a disaster. Therapy isn’t helping so she abruptly leaves NYC and heads to Gatlinburg, TN and the little cabin where her late grandmother used to live. Eve needs time alone and to get her next play written. Jamie, the single dad next door, is not part of her plan. Jamie has also come to his cabin in Gatlinburg to escape, tired from doing battle with his narcissistic ex custody of their 8 year old son.  Neither Eve nor Jamie is looking for romance, but decide a steamy fling could be a nice distraction. But things of course get complicated when the fling gives way to real feelings.

I really loved how Jordan wrote both of these characters.  Eve and Jamie are both so wounded from their other relationships, Eve probably more so than Jamie based on what we learn about her as the story progresses. Jamie falls for Eve first and I adored how patient he was with her because he recognized how much she had to work through before she was ready to fully be in a relationship with him. 

I alternated between the print ARC and the ALC and quite enjoyed the narration of Matt Haynes and Adenrele Ojo. I thought they really highlighted the chemistry between Jamie and Eve and really brought out the emotional depth in the story. 

This was just a beautiful story that had me feeling all the emotions and I can’t wait to read more from this author!
